  • PCT Patent Publication No. WO 2014028285 discloses a manual device for inserting a catheter or needle into a blood vessel based on mechanically pushing forward a needle or catheter from its inside for as long as the insertion force is high.
  • the internal apparatus disengages due to the contraction of an element made of interlaced flexible elements and the catheter or the needle is no further introduced.
  • This operation principle is intended for injecting a substance into a blood vessel only, and it is therefore limited in that it cannot be used for avoiding injuring or puncturing a blood vessel, or for avoiding the undesired injection of a substance into a blood vessel.

  • this patent's drawback is its need for sensors mounted in the needle's tip. Such needle tips are hard to manufacture and must be kept sterile prior to their utilization. Furthermore, since the sensors surround the needle, they can't sense the needle's tip contact with a blood vessel, so injury to blood vessels can't be avoided.

They are based on external, non-invasive sensors, which locate the blood vessel to be punctured, and a needle is inserted accordingly.
